Nanoscience and technology is a rapidly developing area of research in physics, chemistry, and materials. This volume comsists of papers presented at the Advanced Study Institute in Hong Kong that explore developments in novel structures in phenomena of nanostructured materials. The topics include: two-dimensional nanoclusters on metal surfaces, quantum dynamics of coupled quantum-dot cubits and dephasing effects induced by measurements, coati...

New urban applications are emerging for remote sensing, in particular with the use of high-resolution data for measuring, monitoring and analysis. This comes through the use of high spatial resolution imaging, such as for precision mapping of cities, new techniques for population mapping, extracting urban land use features, and evaluating the city energy patterns, and through the use of night-time imagery for determining populations and econom...

This book develops a conceptual framework for understanding the network of relationships that exists around the hub of large multinational firms.
